Hi, I see you've gotten a couple of responses, and I'd pretty much echo those. For the most part, it almost doesn't matter what brand of SD card you get, although I'd suggest sticking with those that have been mentioned here since they are proven cards. Lexar is good but pricey, as is Kingston, although, based on just one or two tests, some of the Kingston cards seem slow for their rated speed. Best bet might be to check prices @ newegg or your favorite store, see what's offered in the 150X range, and read a few reviews of the cards.
TheK10D will take 4GB SDHC cards, although a few of us here suggest sticking with the 2GB cards until there are more card readers and cards available with the new standard. I'd look at the NP-400 battery for the Minolta as a good choice for replacing the proprietary battery for the Pentax. It's been reported that it's the same battery. But John, why buy accessories before getting the camera, or at least so much before. Prices on cards and batteries may come down, and there may be some better options if you wait a bit. Of course, it doesn't hurt to start looking and doing some research now.
